Description: Unable to endure another mind-numbing day at Initech Corporation, cubicle slave Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) gets fired up and decides to get fired. Armed with a leisurely new attitude and a sexy new girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston), he soon masters the art of neglecting his work, which quickly propels him into the ranks of upper management! Now the stage is set for Peter to carry out a high-tech embezzling scheme that's sure to mean the end of his job and a one-way ticket to easy street. Can he pull it off before all corporate hell breaks loose?
Amazon.com: Ever spend eight hours in a "Productivity Bin"? Ever had worries about layoffs? Ever had the urge to demolish a temperamental printer or fax machine? Ever had to endure a smarmy, condescending boss? Then Office Space should hit pretty close to home for you. Peter (Ron Livingston) spends the day doing stupefyingly dull computer work in a cubicle. He goes home to an apartment sparsely furnished by IKEA and Target, then starts for a maddening commute to work again in the morning. His coworkers in the cube farm are an annoying lot, his boss is a snide, patronizing jerk, and his days are consumed with tedium. In desperation, he turns to career hypnotherapy, but when his hypno-induced relaxation takes hold, there's no shutting it off. Layoffs are in the air at his corporation, and with two coworkers (both of whom are slated for the chute) he devises a scheme to skim funds from company accounts. The scheme soon snowballs, however, throwing the three into a panic until the unexpected happens and saves the day. Director Mike Judge has come up with a spot-on look at work in corporate America circa 1999. With well-drawn characters and situations instantly familiar to the white-collar milieu, he captures the joylessness of many a cube denizen's work life to a T. Jennifer Aniston plays Peter's love interest, a waitress at Chotchkie's, a generic beer-and-burger joint à la Chili's, and Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) has a minor but hilarious turn as Peter's mustached, long-haired, drywall-installin' neighbor. --Jerry Renshaw

Rating: - Flair edition.
Office Space is a funny and offbeat film but I wasn't left wanting more from this cult classic. Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston give honest and sarcastic performances and Gary Cole, jeez that guy always plays a jerk! The ending was not that great so I can't rave about this 90 minute flick, this is a mixed bag for me, decide for yourself.

Great movie, makes you realize the comedy that we all have in our day to day jobs, and lives.
Rating: - "What Am I Going To Do With 40 Subscriptions To 'Vibe'"?
"Office Space" is a great film from the brilliant mind of Mike Judge. Ron Livingston plays corporate drone Peter Gibbons who has a totally unhappy and stressed life. Thanks to the only partially intentional assistance from a therapist using hypnosis in the single funniest scene in the film, Peter relaxes and reaps the rewards of sloth. The films makes a legitimate point about promotion up the corporate ladder in the most humorous manner possible.
The characters in the film are all caricatures ... Read More
Rating: - FULL OF FUNNY CHARACTERS, BUT.....................
I'm sure if you work in an office this film may be a riot. While I thought it was funny and entertaining, there wasn't much going on in this film. The cast is very good with lots of quirky characters and it is certainly worth seeing, it just doesn't go anyhwere. You might want to check it out on cable before you buy it. This may grow on me with repeat viewings. Until it does, I rate it 3 1/2 stars.
Rating: - You will have to watch it more than once and laugh more each time
I defiantly would say that this is a must have for your home collection. It is too hilarious to just rent and watch once. I am sure that many people can relate to the lack of enthusiasm about their job or the many office obstacles that may get in the way of them effectively doing their job.
The movie starts off with Peter on his way to work. He is in slow moving traffic, which in turn causes him to be late. While he is in traffic the camera goes to the right of him and shows an elderly gentleman with ... Read More
